Really satisfied???

Hey Tottootedtrackman, Nice to see that people are still using and enjoying the Krell 20i. I was a proud owner of one. The only reason I sold it was because I was afraid that Krell wouldn't be able to repair them down the road. It sounded fantastic and I'm sure it still does! Have you not had to replace the laser? I also had B&W 801's. I used transparent reference cable throughout the system. Amps were Threshold T2 and T400. Also Snell Type B's for speakers. BEST sound I ever heard to this day. Joe

+1 jmcgrogan2, I totally agree!

"I think maybe perhaps" I am satisfied with my system. But then you send your transport in for tuneup and a friend lends you his PS Audio PWT and the "snowballing" begins.  You buy your own PWT because the improvement over your Audio Research transport was wonderful. Then you notice one of your Tara Labs AC cables is damaged, so you replace all of them with new Zu Audio cables. Then you get into a discussion on interconnects and replace all those with new Hero Kimber Kables.  The new PWT gets you thinking about your Bel Canto 1.5 DAC and again, your friend brings over a Bel Canto 3.75 w/ VRB power ( while your DAC is being updated) and he also brings over his massive "money no option type" Wadia DAC and you hear "magic" (and dollar sign$...accck !) and know what your system could sound like. 
All in all it's a terrible, wonderful, amazingly scary and neverending adventure we audiophiles undertake each and every time we listen to our hobby, our escape, our needy little electrical, addictive stepchild,  our version of  musical nirvana  !  In my opinion, of course.  

Hey jnovak Ive owned the Krell 20i with the delta 9 upgrade about 2 years now and couldnt be happier, Laser is still going strong, Unit is built like a tank , and has the most incredible slamming bass i have ever heard in a cd player.
